At 0530 at TheMutt tomorrow come close out the first month of 2018 strong. We will use playground equipment but it will NOT be for fun and games. Glove up. Minimal running. Zero coupon mosey. SYITG.

This story begins not unlike many others you have heard before. HIM EH's his buddy. His buddy says blah blah blah (excuses). HIM goes on getting better and reminding said buddy that the gloom will always be there for him. Fast forward 5 months and this is where things get interesting. YHC has been grindingContinue reading "1.29.18 1930 BlackOp: Wait, we have night beatdowns too?"

"This is my coupon.  There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my coupon is nothing.  Without my coupon, I am nothing." Come get wrecked in the Gloom tomorrow at The Mutt at Holy Trinity, 0530 hard start. I have something to say to the PAX, and then we willContinue reading "#Rooster Pre-Blast. Old Bay at the helm."

We have tried everything else so why not an evening Bootcamp. Wait, Z isn't 1930 like right in the middle of family time? Why yes it is. However, when you have an FNG you have been EH'n for months and he says his milkshake can bring 5+ FNGs to the yard you step up. AlsoContinue reading "1.29.18 BlackOp After Dark at 1930 (730pm) at the Mutt"

I've been thinking about this one for a while... practicing, planning.  So, to say that I was a little flustered when my super cool iphone 5SE (don't hate) lost connection at the beginning of the post was an understatement. I'm not going to lie, I was out there at 5:00 making sure all was functionalContinue reading "1/29/18 Backblast #incubator. #hellonewman #wham!hadafriend"

The unseasonably warm weather made YHC wonder if he overslept this gloom by about 2 months...But, no the weather Gods smiled down on F3 Louisville today and bless us with 55 perfect degrees! YHC rolled in hot to the #Poshlands this gloom. Coming in so fast YHC thought Kilo bought a new car. Hmmmm. IsContinue reading "BackBlast #BlackOps #Rucking @Poshlands Abacus Q 1/27/18"

And a blast we had doing Crazy Eights... There's a story to tell that involves abacuses, chickens, a Q leader pointing the finger at PAX and PAX claiming mental acuity issues with the Q.  Crazy, I say. 15 PAX (even after 8 count-offs) - Ice Man (respect), Dutch Oven, Grave Digger, Abacus, Kilo, Tomato, DoubleContinue reading "Must Read Poshlands Back Blast"

Q: Captain Insaneo (YHC) Pax (7 crazy): Mad Cow, Old Bay, Diablo, Zartan, Face, Red Roof, CI This is the second Saturday in a row I'll miss one of our regular workouts. I'm bummed and was last night. But Zartan to the rescue. He suggested we meet up for a Ruck at 0600. So IContinue reading "1/27 Bad Mutharucker Mile Backblast #getbetter"

Join Abacus, Gypsey, and Kilo for some #ruckingfun. We'll #ruck and #getbetter Meet at Gheens Lodge @parklands 0600 we will finish by 0645 SYITG

So nothing fun to report during YHCs portion of the beatdown. We met for a reason and I was there to guarantee we all got what we came for. But please read below the fold. WeddingSinger brought some seriously hard entertainment. PAX Busch Zoo GlenRoss Snowman WEddingSinger Tron Vincent MadCow Zartan Mosey to get theContinue reading "1.26.18 BlackOp Runless Beatdown: Slow and Low that is the tempo"

PAX: Zoolander, Vincent, MadCow & Zartan Conditions: muggy 30ish degrees Attire: Zoo came strong with 20yr old St X Basketball T Shirt, upper and lower tights. Some kind of shorts and classic gray wool socks pulled up and ever so gently scrunched as if he should have had on Timberland boots from the 90s. WeContinue reading "1.26.18 BO PreWO Ruck: Running with the Bulls"

Well I was super pumped to have my 2nd Q at The O! Really dug deep to try to do something I hadn't done in any of my previous Q's, so I thought why don't you just bring a bunch of heavy awkward shit that the Pax can lift and pull and etc.... Pax: MadContinue reading "Temple Of Gloom workout recall 1/25/18"

It was a beautiful morning at the "Hue" for the 4 PAX that were bold enough to show up for a Vincent style beat down! Locals Cutlass, PK, Kilo (Tclaps for the promo) and DiGiorno (Tclaps for making the trip) pushed themselves to get better today. Q had to change some things on the flyContinue reading "BackBlast Black Ops @theHue"

Coupons!!!  Please bring your coupons on Saturday.  Please bring extra in case other PAX need as well.  If we run fast enough we will have time for coupon work!

Here's my To-Do List for the #Ruiner on Saturday at The O: 1. Run 2. Carry Coupons to another location (not Big Rock) 3. Use a whistle 4. Take the Pax to a new area 5. Take the Pax to an old but forgotten area 6. Borrow (steal) something from Kilo's recent Q 7. IncorporateContinue reading "1/27/18 #Ruiner Pre-Blast"

Sometimes life gets in the way of F3.  The flu, injuries, booze, being a sissy are all real issues some of us face.  But when a doctor tells you to refrain from doing something we should listen right?  Or even better, lets modify. Tomorrow at 0530 at the Mutt we will have a guaranteed runlessContinue reading "1.26.18 | 2 BlackOps at the Mutt. 0500 Pre Ruck 0530 Runless Beatdown. Get you some"

Lets just say, Pax = Mouse and Snake = Hill.  We were devoured for breakfast in the gloom this morning.  Im pretty sure Zoo strolled up (late) with a coffee cup similar to the one the mouse is holding.  As for my attire, I was unsure what to wear last night for such a bigContinue reading "11/24 BackBlast #KiloQ at the Blender #SnakeHill #KilOga"

For the record, on 1/19/2018, three HIMs ventured far beyond their driveway, against all odds, to ruck. This is how hardcore Willowgate HIMs are! You can't stop us! Ok, they Rucked around their hood for an hour because their wives wouldn't let them stray far like the big 4 Bridge. But for the record book,Continue reading "First ever Willowgate Hood Ruck BB"

I have to admit, I was really disappointed when the flu made me reschedule my VQ at the Mutt earlier this month (thanks for the backup Tron)....but now I'm 100% and ready to make it rain...reps.  Gloves could be handy. When: Saturday 1/27 7:00am Where: Chateau Le Mutt Who: All Pax, FNGs, and anyone lookingContinue reading "1/27 Pre-Blast: It’s Rep Day at #TheHurt"
